Materials:
-two to three contrasting nail colors
-nail art deco brush (this is a thin nail polish brush)
-clear top coat/ base coat
Step 1:
Paint your background color. I usually prefer to use the lighter color as the base. Paint all your nails this color. I used a white pearl color from Icing called “Anything But Innocent”. Apply a couple of coats and let this layer dry completely, half an hour should be fine.

Step 2:
Use one of your other contrasting colors and paint zebra stripes with your art deco brush. I like to use a color that is close to my base color on my thumbs, and then use black on my other nails. When forming the zebra stripes you essentially paint on lines that bend and point at the end. I used another Icing color called “High Maintenance”.

Step 3:
Use the same technique and use your darker color on the rest of your nails- I used just a cheap black nail polish I received with a Halloween costume a few years ago.

Step 4:
Paint your clear top coat on and voila!

That does look a bit unique and time consuming with great talent. I work as an e-Rep for Avon and I have a nail polish product called Mosaic Effects Top Coat .4 fl oz. and the price cant be beat @ $3.99 but will be $6.99 after sale. Pretty hot for fall fashion and easy, but simple to put on.
Instructions:
Swipe a coat over nail enamel and watch it break into a dazzling design.

It looks really easy to do, but is it easy?, I’ll try to do it, and make it like the pictures that are here.
Thanks!
